• Perform advanced engineering calculations, analyses, and design validation activities with limited supervision.
• Create and implement engineering change notices (ECNs) and manage product configuration changes.
• Support manufacturing, service, quality, and supply chain teams by resolving technical issues and implementing corrective actions.
• Conduct root cause investigations and develop corrective and preventive actions for product and process improvements.
• Evaluate supplier designs, technical proposals, and component selections for performance, quality, and cost effectiveness.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical recommendations to engineering leadership.
• Interface directly with customers, suppliers, and field service personnel to resolve design and performance issues.
• Identify opportunities for cost reduction, standardization, and continuous improvement across product lines.
• Perform finite element analysis (FEA), structural analysis, or other engineering simulations as required.
• Support testing activities, including test planning, execution, data analysis, and reporting.
• Mentor Associate Mechanical Engineers, interns, and co-op students.
• Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and design guidelines.
• Demonstrate technical ownership of assigned systems and products throughout the product lifecycle.

Required Competencies

• Able to identify and synthesize relevant data and take appropriate and timely action when required in own area of responsibility.
• Makes technical decisions independently within defined project scope.
• Evaluates multiple solutions and recommends the most effective approach.
